Story
I rescued Ava at the peninsula regional animal shelter, she is about 2 years old. Unfortunately due to my relocation and career change I am unable to provide her with the necessary resources to give her a happy life. She truly is an amazing dog sweet and energetic. I have never witnessed her have aggression. All I want is for her to have a loving home. Someone who can be patient with her because she does need training.

Story
An amazing dog that never barks very calm demeanor. Very sweet I recently separated with my wife and since Im in the military I literally just don’t have time to keep up with him. He is a beautiful amazing dog no issues for me whatsoever. He has never displayed aggression but can show insecurity if a relationship is rushed as long as you are loving and gentle with him he will protect and love you forever. I just want the best for him he is the most deserving dog I’ve ever had.

Story
2-Year-Old European Doberman (Spayed, UTD on Vaccines) This beautiful 2-year-old female Doberman is purebred from European lines, spayed, and current on all vaccines. She has a sweet, people-oriented temperament and loves human companionship. She enjoys play with dogs her size but has a dominant personality and does best with non-alpha dogs. She is not compatible with small dogs. She also becomes anxious when crated, so she will need gentle, patient work if her new home plans to use a crate. Serious inquiries only. When messaging, please share a brief introduction about yourself. I will follow up with additional screening questions for potential adopters.

Story
We purchased Zoe from a breeder as a puppy from sugar Plum bulldogs. We purchased her during Covid. She’s five years old. The puppy as a puppy, we were not able to socialize her during Covid so she’s not very friendly to a lot of people. But she’s never bitten anyone, but she can be aggressive. Other than that, she’s pretty mellow she loves to eat and she loves to sleep. She loves car rides. She loves her big fluffy pillow. She loves laying in the sun outside. She loves snacks. All of her records are up-to-date. We have all of her documents. We’re looking for a loving home experience with an experienced dog owner that can work with her and be patient with her. I love her.

Story
This sweet, energetic puppy has been with us since he was 3 weeks old. He has grown up around our 10-month-old daughter and another dog, and he has always been gentle, playful, and affectionate with both. He loves to run, play, and be part of the family. Unfortunately, he recently broke his toe and needs continued medical care. We are no longer able to keep up with the expenses, and we want to find someone who can give him the love, playtime, and care he deserves. He is a wonderful, happy pup with so much potential, and is looking for a responsible home that can continue his treatment and give him a great life.

Story
We adopted Penny in September from the peninsula regional shelter, she’s about 5 months old I believe. She is the sweetest, playful, lovey girl. Unfortunately, our two adult dogs have shown a lot of aggression towards her despite time and training. We feel Penny’s happiness and safety needs to come first by having a new family. We have a 3 and 4 year old who she gets alone well with
